Give Yourself to Yourself First
For a few minutes go within, be with the silence and stillness and you will hear the wisdom of the Spirit. Remembering our rituals is key. It is our duty to become our own best friend, to silence the punishing inner critic. It is our sacred assignment to honor the light within, and work every day in partnership with God—and one another. Let love lead the way! Susan L Taylor
There is a sacredness in stillness.
In a world that constantly demands our attention, energy, and care, we often forget the one person we are with 24/7 — ourselves.
Before we give ourselves away — to work, to family, to causes, to relationships — what if we paused? What if we gave ourselves to ourselves first?
This isn’t selfish. It’s sacred.
That silence you take in the morning before your phone lights up, that moment you place your hand on your heart just to feel it beat, that walk in nature where your mind unclutters — these are not small things. They are rituals. Acts of devotion. Invitations to come home to yourself.
Because when you ground yourself in your own compassion, your own breath, your own presence — you show up differently in the world. Not perfectly. But more human. More rooted. You can still hold space for others, and do so with more clarity and love, because you are not pouring from depletion. You are offering from overflow.
When self-tending becomes ritual, it becomes a signal — not only to your body and spirit, but to the Universe itself — that you matter That you care for the life force within you. That you honor your role as your own first companion.
What are your daily rituals for self?
Do you have any?
Have you ever thought about it?
They don’t need to be grand. A quiet cup of tea. A short journal entry. A few minutes of movement or stillness. Breath. Boundaries. Joy. Rest. A whispered affirmation. All of these are ways of saying: I hold space for me.
And when we do that — consistently, lovingly, intentionally — we invest in ourselves. And like all wise investments, it pays dividends: in peace, in presence, in purpose.
So today, before you give yourself away…
Give yourself to yourself.
You deserve it.
